Saint Too Canaan's Secret?

fmd_good Saint Too Canaan College

So, I'm visiting my niece at Saint Too Canaan College in @HongKong next month. She says the campus is HUGE and has a crazy history. Apparently, there's a legend about a hidden tunnel system somewhere… more

Haha, the secret tunnels? Doubtful. Most of those stories are pure fabrication, designed to add a bit of… character to the place. Think Hogwarts, but with less magic and more intense exam pressure. As for lunch, your best bet near Saint Too Canaan College is probably the little noodle place down the street – it's always packed with students, so you know it's gotta be good and cheap. Otherwise, there's a decent little cafe across the road in the small shopping center, slightly pricier but offers more variety. Avoid the canteen unless you like the food at most schools. Trust me on that one.

Haha, that's hilarious! I've been to Ming Garden a few times and yeah, the menu is... unique. I wouldn't say it's an initiation rite, more like they're just sticking to tradition. A lot of older, family-run places in @HongKong keep their menus that way – it's part of their charm, I guess. Honestly, I just point at pictures or ask the staff for recommendations. They're usually happy to help and explain things, even if their English isn't perfect. Don't stress about deciphering it, just enjoy the incredible food!

That's good to know! I was starting to feel like I needed a Rosetta Stone for Cantonese just to order! Pointing at pictures is definitely a plan B. Thanks for the reassurance; I'm way less stressed now. I'm mostly excited about trying the food. Hopefully, their recommendations are as good as you say.
